Eagles HC Doug Pederson told reporters that second-round QB Jalen Hurts will start again this week, per Tim McManus.
Hurts was impressive in guiding the Eagles to an upset victory of the NFC-leading Saints on Sunday, rushing for over 100 yards.
Philadelphia will play the Cardinals in Week 15. Hurts will have another chance to make his case as an NFL starter, as well as potentially propelling the Eagles back into playoff contention.
Hurts, 22, was drafted by the Eagles in the second round out of Oklahoma in 2020. He signed a four-year, $6,025,171 rookie contract that includes a $1,941,943 signing bonus.
In 2020, Hurts has appeared in 12 games for the Eagles and completed 25-45 passing attempts for 309 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He’s also rushed 35 times for 191 yards and caught one pass for three yards.
During his four-year college career at Alabama and Oklahoma, Hurts recorded 682 completions on 1,047 pass attempts (65.1 percent) for 9,477 yards, 80 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions to go along with 614 rush attempts for 3,274 yards (5.3 YPC) and 43 touchdowns.
